That's the brake warning light in the dash. If you lose a brake line there is a piston in the proportioning valve that slides completes the circuit to ground and turns the light on in the bottom of the fuel gauge

You probably should ditch the brass combo valve. The brass ones are notorious for leaking under that rubber cap at the front.
